IN THE GARDEN OF 
JAMES PARMELEE, Esq. 
WASHINGTON, D. C. 
CHARLES A. PLATT, Architect 
Mrs. ELLEN SHIPMAN, Landscape Architect 
Save for the rough flagged smaller pathways, it is a brick walked and 
brick walled garden. Pleasantly relieving shadows are cast by the pro¬ 
jecting bricks in the wall, which are regularly arranged 
The feathery foliage of arborvitaes and the 
richer green of boxwood edging stand out 
in marked contrast to the lines and color of 
the brick and cement wall 
Approaching the garden from the side, five 
steps lead down from the higher ground. 
From them the axial walk leads to a pool and 
fountain in the center
